"It's just not going in, that's the way it is. I don't know if I've felt like this before, or had a stretch like this. I'm not sure, I don't feel like I've had that in the NHL, at least,"
"Our confidence is low right now. For me, scoring's hard to come by. I actually feel pretty good right now, lots of chances every night. Whether it's me or my line we're getting chances. That's the way you have to look at it."
"Look, you just have to leave the rink now, forget about it. Everybody's frustrated, you can't bring it home, you have to let your mind relax, and just focus on the next game, and your next shift."
William Nylander acknowledged an ongoing scoring slump and said he does not feel like himself, remaining scoreless since November 26 and held pointless in four straight games. Coaching staff have shuffled lines in recent games, but the changes have not produced offensive results. Nylander has primarily played with John Tavares while the left-wing role has rotated among Nick Robertson, Bobby McMann, Easton Cowan, and Matias Maccelli. Nylander reports still generating plenty of chances despite low confidence and emphasizes the need to forget the loss, relax mentally, and focus on the next game and next shift. The team faces the Pittsburgh Penguins next, then a holiday break to reset.
